On the very last night of our stay in Mumbai, literally less than an hour till we boarded our tourist bus back to the airport, I got to pay my respects at a small Ganesh ceremony down the road from our hotel. Being Hindu and having a deeper connection and belief in Ganesh, I could not have been more satisfied and humbled in those five minutes at the ceremony. I was rushed to the front by the ladies singing in prayer and got to receive my blessings and gave a donation. The best part about it all was how happy my mother was when I told her what I did.
